Hmmm.  I think that I joined the list about two years ago, am certainly
obsessed with recordings, and post frequently.  But, no, I definitely see
no correlation here.

I don't know how you folks who participate on multiple lists handle it all.
Every now and then, I join other lists and quickly regret having done so.
Some of them are far too specialized for me; the Bach Recordings List has
folks who never heard a Bach recording they didn't like.  But, basically,
I'm a one-list guy just like I'm a one-woman guy.  I never could handle two
or more girlfriends at the same time:  too confusing as to who was going to
get my best.
